 ouch, thats a hard one to do.  but what I suggest is to practice.  but what I think would help is if you use the basic low alt d with the tremolo and just keep your bottom hand still, I haven't tried this but i think it may make your A a little flat.  hope this helps

 You won't be able to use the standard fingering for the altissimo D, because this is in a different register from the clarino A. Try as you might, you will get an unpleasant yodelling sound. Instead use the alternative fingering for the D which is in the top of the clarion register: 
 
Register + Thumb + Second Side Key 
 
It'll still be difficult, but it will at least be possible!
